Morat delivered its 14-track Ya Es Mañana (YEM) album, where they not only continue to solidify themselves as Bogotá’s prolific pop-rock band, but also their loyal brotherhood and evolution. Inspired by riveting rock music from the ’90s and celebrating those dreams that have come true, YEM includes collaborations with Jay Wheeler on “Sin Ti” and Camilo on “Me Toca a Mí.”

Latin hitmaker Sergio George also unleashed his album Ataca Sergio! Presents: Urban Salsa Sessions featuring some of today’s Latin pop and urban stars singing brand new salsa songs. On the 11-track set, he reeled in artists such as Wisin, Ryan Castro, Jay Wheeler, Elena Rose, Oscar D’ Leon, and even actor Anthony Ramos to sing a salsa tune in English. Notably is the focus track, “La Gata y el Ratón,” where Fariana and Juanes are joined by a sample of Cheo Feliciano’s original voice for a bold interpolation of Cheo’s 1974 classic “El Ratón.”

Other new releases this week include music from Greeicy, Christian Nodal, Myke Towers, Trueno, and many more. Last week, Sebastian Yatra’s Milagro album won the poll with over 78% of the vote.

Fans Choose Lana Del Rey’s ‘Bluebird’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music

Lana Del Rey‘s “Bluebird” tops this week’s new music poll.

In a poll published Friday (April 18) on Billboard, music fans chose the alt-pop icon’s gorgeous new ballad as their favorite new release of the past week.

“Bluebird” captured 62% of the vote, beating out new releases from artists like Morgan Wallen and Post Malone (“I Ain’t Coming Back”), Addison Rae (“Headphones On”), Davido (5ive), Isabel Larosa (Raven), and others.

The lullaby-like “Bluebird” is the second offering from Del Rey’s forthcoming country-leaning studio album, which has yet to be titled or given a release date. Set over soft finger-picked guitar and piano, she gently croons about hope and heartbreak. “Little bird, bluebird/ Fly away for both of us/ For you have wings and I’ve no means to fly,” she sings.

Del Rey recently shared the song’s backstory in a candid video filmed on her way to rehearsal.

“I started humming this chorus to myself, with the words and the melody, a long time ago when I had been seeing someone for a very long time — and we hadn’t seen each other for a while, and he called,” she said in an Instagram clip. “And he asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. I was kind of excited, but I didn’t think it was a very good idea.”

She went on to describe the moment that inspired the track’s title. “All of a sudden a bird smacked in the double-pane window doors of my bedroom,” the singer recalled. “I was shocked, and I opened the little door and I saw this little, I think it was a little sparrow, little swallow, right there, and I just was so emotional — because you know when you just know that something is meant for you? Like sometimes I feel like nature has its own way of communicating with you, especially in extremely severe situations — not in a sacrificial way, just in a way just for you to know.”

“Bluebird” follows “Henry, Come On,” which placed second in last week’s fan-voted poll with 12%.

Del Rey is set to bring her country-inspired vision to the stage at this year’s Stagecoach in Indio, Calif., on April 25. The festival has teased her set as “a very special country set,” arriving the weekend after Coachella.

This week’s poll runner-up was Wallen and Malone’s collaboration “I Ain’t Coming Back,” which earned 12% of the vote. The Bible story track is one of 37 on Wallen’s upcoming album, I’m the Problem.

Additionally, Ángela Aguilar shined on her mariachi single “Nadie Se Va Como Llegó,” an emotional ballad that showcases her remarkable vocal range and ability to convey raw emotion. Accompanied by sweeping string arrangements and powerful blaring horns, the song encapsulates the essence of modern mariachi while staying rooted in its timeless traditions. In just 2:30 minutes, Ángela delivers a heart-wrenching performance, balancing vulnerability and strength with remarkable poise.

Trending on Billboard

Argentine acts Miranda! and Nicki Nicole team up to deliver a kitschy electro-pop track on “Hace Rato.” Driven by a pulsating beat and shimmering synths, the song strikes a perfect balance between nostalgia and modernity. Lyrically, “Hace Rato” unpacks the unraveling of a relationship, exploring themes of neglect, unmet expectations and emotional distance. The track’s infectious rhythm contrasts with its bittersweet lyrics, making it equally suited for the dance floor and contemplative listening.

Other highlights in this week’s playlist include the brooding corridos tumbados by rising Mexican star Estevan Plazola, “Vibrar +,” the insatiable R&B-trap cut “Mi Kilito” by ROA and the electifying flamenco-música mexicana fusion “Te Quiero Y Me Miento” by powerhouse collaboration Carín León, Diego El Cigala and Chanela Clicka.

What’s Your Favorite Hit by Selena Gomez, Woman of the Year at 2025 Billboard Latin Women in Music? Vote!

Selena Gomez will receive the 2025 Woman of the Year award at the annual Billboard Latin Women in Music event, Billboard and Telemundo announced earlier Wednesday (April 16). The two-hour special, set to be held in Miami, will air April 24 exclusively on Telemundo.

Gomez was named Woman of the Year at the all-genre Billboard Women in Music event in 2017. She’s the second woman to take top honors at both shows, following Karol G.

Gomez has had a very good year. On Feb. 23, she won her first Screen Actors Guild Award as a cast member of Only Murders in the Building, which was voted outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series.

Trending on Billboard

The multi-media, multi-genre superstar has received two Grammy nominations (a surprisingly low tally for someone who has done quality work over many years) and four Primetime Emmy nods for Only Murders in the Building (one for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series, three for outstanding comedy series, as an executive producer.)

Gomez first hit the Billboard Hot 100 in January 2009 with “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know” from the movie Another Cinderella Story, in which she starred with Drew Seeley. Gomez has landed 45 Hot 100 hits, including four so far in 2025 from a collaborative album with fiancé benny blanco.

Billboard statisticians sifted through Gomez’s 45 Hot 100 hits to determine the 20 biggest. They include nine strictly solo hits; four hits with her early group Selena Gomez & the Scene; and seven collabs with an impressively wide range of artists – Rema, A$AP Rocky, Zedd, Kygo, DJ Snake, Charlie Puth and Marshmello.

We listed Gomez’s 20 biggest hits in alphabetical order. Now we’re turning it over to you to choose your favorite from this list. Vote!

(Here’s the formula for how we arrived at this list: Selena Gomez’s Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits ranking is based on weekly performance on the Hot 100 through the charts dated April 19, 2025. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower spots earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates during various periods.)

Fans Choose Cynthia Erivo’s ‘Worst of Me’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music

Cynthia Erivo‘s “Worst of Me” tops this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (April 11) on Billboard, choosing the Wicked actress’ dramatic new ballad as their favorite new music release of the past week.

“Worst of Me” captured 73% of the vote, surpassing recent releases from artists like Lana Del Rey (“Henry, Come On”), Jessie Murph (“Blue Strips”), Bon Iver (SABLE fABLE), Rauw Alejandro (“Carita Linda”), and others.

“Worst of Me” is the second single from Erivo’s sophomore album, I Forgive You, which is set for release on June 6 through Verve Records/Republic Records. In addition to showcasing her powerhouse vocals, the project marks a new chapter for Erivo as a songwriter, as she has co-writing credits on every track.

The new single sees Erivo soaring vocally as she closes the door on a toxic relationship. Lush string arrangements and intricate harmonies elevate the emotional ballad, as she declares: “I came here for love, oh, no I don’t want it anymore. I gave you my home, but you took the worst of me.”

Trending on Billboard

It’s is shaping up to be a banner year for Erivo. Following the blockbuster success of Wicked in 2024, she received a best actress nomination at the 2025 Oscars, where she also delivered a show-stopping performance of “Defying Gravity” alongside co-star Ariana Grande. Still ahead, she’s set to host the 2025 Tony Awards, take on the role of Jesus Christ in the Hollywood Bowl’s Jesus Christ Superstar, and headline WorldPride’s post-parade stage in Washington, D.C. All this leads up to the release of Wicked: For Good, the final installment of the franchise, premiering Nov. 21.

Del Rey’s “Henry, Come On” landed in second place in the poll with 12% of the vote. The gentle track serves as the first single from her long-awaited country album, The Right Person Will Stay.

Meanwhile, Bon Iver dropped SABLE fABLE, serving as the artist’s first proper album since 2019’s I, I, which debuted at No. 26 on the Billboard 200. Described in a release as a “love story set to lush, radiant pop music,” the new project “begins with the vulnerable unburdening” of the previously released Sable EP, before giving way “to a new nine-song saga in which one person becomes two, darkness turns to salmon-colored beauty, and sadness transforms to unbridled joy.”

I’m very excited as you can tell.” The track will appear on Play, the first in his next album series. The next albums will be called Pause, Rewind, Fast-Forward and Stop.
